IBM i Integrated MFA Solution Developer Impacts
Wednesday May 21, 2025 9:15am - 10:15am PDT
Safari
The integrated IBM i MFA solution set of features has various impacts for application developers to consider. Some impacts directly impact if or how their applications work in various configurations. Other impacts involve changes to make applications better ecosystem citizens in context of the authentication exit point information provided to those solutions. Profile handles and profile tokens is one of the primary areas of focus in the session.

Learning Objectives:
Learn about the new and updated APIs and Commands developers should be aware. Understand how updating applications to use these capabilities provides a better MFA end-user experience as well as increases the value of security solutions built on the authentication exit point support.

Building a Successful IFS Security Strategy
Wednesday May 21, 2025 10:45am - 11:45am PDT
Adventure
Ask any security professional which area of IBM i security is most often ignored and chances are the unanimous response is a chorus of “the Integrated File System."

Many organizations are either unaware of the risks that an unsecured IFS poses or are simply unsure of how to secure it. Regardless of the reason, this is a problem. The system interface doesn’t differentiate how a user profile accesses data – which leaves sensitive data exposed and vulnerable to manipulation, malware, and even theft.
